Clarke century wins the day
By ALAN APTED
SCOREBOARD
Counties-Manukau 282-7 (Tamati Clarke 147 n/o,
Brandon Hiini 43, Kevin Farrell 27) beat Northland
276-6 (Brent Arnel 3-31, Nick Kelly 1-55, Ash
Vodnala 1-51) by six runs.
Points: Counties Manukau 24, Hamilton 22, Bay of
Plenty 21, Northland 9, Waikato Valley 8, Poverty
Bay 4.
An imperious 147 not out
by Tamati Clarke
against Northland on
Sunday has set Counties
Manukau on course for
their first Fergus Hickey
Rosebowl win.
Clarke's maiden first-
class century off 140
balls saw his side win a
558-run thriller by six
runs at the Weymouth
Oval in Manurewa.
The victory puts
Counties Manukau two
points clear of Hamilton
with two games left --
Northland in Whangarei
on February 18 and 19
and Poverty Bay in Gis-
borne on March 3 and 4.
Counties Manukau
have never won the
Fergus Hickey Rosebowl.
The friendly Wey-
mouth Oval pitch put the
home side on course for
their highest one-day
total. They made 282-7
off 50 overs then restric-
ted the visitors to 276-6.
Batting honours went
to Clarke who brought
up his century with a
towering six over the
midwicket boundary.
All-rounder Brandon
Hiini proved an ideal foil
for Clarke. He hit a run-
a-minute 43 and with
Clarke put on 84 runs in
49 minutes.
The Counties Manu-
kau bowlers initially
struggled for a break-
through and the visitors
reached 111 before losing
their first wicket.
But it was former
Black Cap Brent Arnel
who sealed the win for
the competition leaders.
Northland looked well
placed to get the 18 runs
they needed from the
last two overs until
Arnel stepped up for his
final over. He bagged two
wickets and conceded
three runs to leave the
visitors needing 15 off
the final over -- they got
nine.
Taylor Shield chase is on
By ALAN APTED
Century: Weymouth keeper
Kyle Blanchard can only
watch as Waiuku's Scott
Guthrie takes off for more
runs. Guthrie scored 100 to
put Waiuku in command of
the match.

Karaka 126 (Sam Kett 28, Josh Cole 20, Alex
Borrie 20. Mat Singh 4-26, Brandon Hiini 3-26,
Mitchell Sweetman 2-29) v Pukekohe-Metro 139-6

Hickey 43, Rob von Elling 42. Nick Kelly 4-25, Gian
Botha 2-34).
Counties Manukau club
cricket's two-day cham-
pionship for the W. H.
Taylor Shield is going
down to the wire.
It will be determined
on Saturday after the
matches between Puke-
kohe-Metro and Karaka
at Bledisloe Park in
Pukekohe and Waiuku
and Weymouth at the
Weymouth Oval in
Manurewa are decided.
Four teams were in
the hunt heading into
the final round last
Saturday but after
Weymouth threw them-
selves under the bus
against Waiuku, the field
has narrowed to three.
Pukekohe-Metro have
dragged themselves level
with competition leaders
Karaka with a first-
innings win at home.
They are 139-6 in
reply to Karaka's dis-
appointing first innings
of 126 all-out. But either
team is going to need an
outright on the final day
to keep Waiuku at bay.
Rain is about the only
thing that will deny
Waiuku an outright over
Weymouth.
The home side is on
the ropes at 122-9
chasing Waiuku's mam-
moth first innings of
311-6 off just 70 overs.
Captain Scott Guthrie
led the Waiuku effort
with a century. He and
Ash Panchia produced
the best partnership of
the round, topping 183
for the third wicket.
A rearguard last-
wicket stand between
Liam Hunia 31 not-out
and Doug Wimp 10 not-
out was Weymouth's
only highlight.
They were teetering on
72-7 at one stage with
Guthrie taking 4-52 and
Bayden Morey 4-63.
Weymouth have a
massive task ahead to
avoid the follow-on on
Saturday.
The championship is
Pukekohe-Metro and
Karaka's to lose with
Waiuku in control at
Weymouth.
The pair are locked on
59 points after Puke-
kohe-Metro grabbed first
innings points last
Saturday.
Papakura are destined
to finish last after Manu-
kau snared first innings
points at McLennan
Park last Saturday.
Even if Kura finish
day two with outright
points they won't go
ahead of Manukau on
the ladder.
Papakura made 148
with Gian Botha provid-
ing the highlight with
51. Youngsters Matt
Gurrey 23 and Nick
Kelly 21 were the best of
the other batsmen.
Tom Urry 4-51 and
captain Brendon Read
3-16 ensured Manukau
had a reasonable chase.
Manukau are 185-5 in
reply. Kelly, a left arm
finger spinner has 4-25
and Botha 2-34.
